A recent study has concluded that Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 is the best browser to use when it comes to getting the most out of your laptop battery.

AnandTech tested several browsers including Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, and discovered that in the majority of cases using Internet Explorer 8 resulted in longer battery life.
